He has completed training in many newborn, infant, and paediatric adjusting courses and even spent a portion of his clinical internship working at a paediatric wellness clinic before graduation. Being a high level athlete himself, he also enjoys working with different athletes from all types of sports. His treatment plans incorporate rehabilitation of the body and proper nutritional counselling, in addition to mindfulness and meditative practices for stress management. Dr. Hickey’s primary goal is to accurately determine the cause of pain, while also effectively educating his patients on their condition. From newborns to seniors, Dr. Hickey is fully prepared to serve your needs, whether it’s pain relief or general wellness.
